Default Purchase Opinions 2000 SE 2WD

Opinions on purchasing a 2000 Jeep Cherokee SE 4-Dr 2WD 6cyl Auto. I really like Cherokees and don't plan on doing much wheeling if any at all. It will be my daily driver for when I cant ride the 599. Price is $4,978. Mileage is 135,284. I know about the head issue and I will definitely look at that before I buy but I am just looking for opinions.

I paid a little over 4k for my 99 with 20,000 miles a few years ago. I think the price is too high. Hard without pictures but with no 4x4 (weather you will use it or not), high millage (not really for an XJ but for a used car) that seems like a lot of money. The KBB for that Jeep is my area in "Excelent" condition is only 3073$. "Good" condition is a whopping 2948. Oh and Welcome to CherokeeForum!

Whether you want 4x4 or not eventually you will want a 4x4 unless you're into bajaing it up or jeepspeed.

That Jeep looks pretty clean but it's way overpriced. Crank windows and no 4x4. I wouldn't pay more than $3000

Im not gonna dog ya cause I have a 2wd. I use it as like a prerunner. I would look underneath for rust and look at the unibody for integrity. Im hoping to start my 4x4 swap once I find the axle,tcase,trans,and linkages. Have fun man. Welcome to the forum. You can always find a better deal on a cherokee.

Welcome to the site. Good luck with the search. I think that is a bit too much for that xj.

Welcome to the site. You may want to check out Craigslist in your area (if you haven't already).

Ok so I missed out on that 2000 so I would like an opinion on this one now.

If you guys thought the price was not good on the 2000 I would imagine you all think the same thing on this one as well?

His prices are outrageous. I just bought a 98 lifted with 31's for 2300. 176000 miles.

Look on craigslist. I just found like 10 nice XJ's for under 5k

don't you people realize XJ's are entering the 'classic' car realm??? sheeeesh get with the program, my jeep has to have at least double in price in the last year I've owned it...

I'm sure to see 5K out of it now...

OP shop around you'll find one, take your time they always pop up...with fair market value which should range between 2K and 4K
